Jurado will face harsher charges

It seems like their is more to this story than what is being told... It makes the victims to this story seem a little too innocent.

First day of spring?

What a great day to get married though, right? My wedding turned out great even with horrible weather!

Man found in wooded area

He is doing good, there are some things that are out of wack, but overall he is doing good.

Police chief responds to shooting rumors

First, I'd like to apologize to the Flores family. My comment was not meant to hurt anyone, but to try and help figure out what happened.

I was the first one to post about this "rumor", but definitely not the first one to hear it or tell it. I also added that I didn't know this to be 100% fact, but as usual all that comment has already been censored, but to those of you reading this, as I said I don't know this to be a fact, I'm just posting what I was told, nothing else.

Lastly, this will be my last comment on this site. Being censored has gotten really old. Emporia needs a site where people can be guaranteed free speech and anonymity. Otherwise people will be too scared to come forward in these cases and won't say what they feel about things because someones going to track them down and charge them with a crime. If anyone hears or knows something, they should be able to get that information out there without having to actually deal with the police. Hopefully these threats won't keep someone who seen or knows something from coming forward.

Goodbye, Emporia

Shooting victim dies

@justhefacts

I forgot to add I don't know this to be 100% fact, and definitely don't want to accuse anyone of misconduct. I have heard it from many people and it's the same exact story. We'll just hope it's not true.

August financial report tight

Why is this in the police report section?

Shooting victim dies

First, R.I.P. Omar Flores, and my condolences to the family.

Second, the police know this wasn't a random shooting, because the police are the ones who sent Mr. Flores to the Rodeway to begin with. The police should have kept eyes on his vehicle if Mr. Flores was helping them make a bust. It wouldn't have saved his life, but it would of kept the shooter from getting away.

Shooting victim critical

“Investigators are working on developing the motive for the shooting at this time.”

This is just something I overheard standing in line at Wal-Mart, so I don't know if it is fact or not, but the people checking out behind me were saying this guy sold someone a pound of lawnmower clippings, and it finally caught up to him. If this is really what happened, that's really too bad. One guy in critical condition and another going to prison. Over grass clippings.

Those shoes are ugly! If anything the young guy did the other guy a favor, maybe now he won't be walking around looking retarded wearing ugly shoes!

The young guy flicked his cigarette on the other guys new pair of shoes. They're the new adidas. http://img36.yfrog.com/i/9kxk.jpg/
